Step1. Run "webClient remote" - client program from this machine.
An additional argument "remote" makes some change in the program functionality. It still collects client's UserID and hostname from UNIX or WindowsNT environment and contact remotely to HTTP server to store this data into an encrypted file. Then it displays a proper URL for the Web browser. This URL includes the unique file name for security check.
URL = http://.../webSecure?securityCode=...
Step2. Run "ppp" - program and fire Web with the URL.The Web browser requests the HTTP server to run webSecure program against the file recently stored on the same server machine. The same procedure checks client's UserID against permission table to grant or not to grant access to the application. The unique secret file including encrypted client data will be deleted after reading by the webSecure program.
